PROJECT 1: 1835 E 8th St Stockton CA

We Buy Houses Stockton (209)481-7780 Cash For Houses

DESCRIPTION:

This 2 Bedroom 1 Bath House was Completely Remodeled and with a Permit to to an Addition the house is now a 4 Bedroom 2 Bath 1,238 SqFt Home.

We purchased 1835 E 8th St, Stockton CA knowing the challenges would quickly reveal themselves. We were not dealing with a typical House that we could isolate and deal with out side the public domain. There were already four different County Agencies involved with the house since the fire had consumed the garage and back half of this small house.

As a result the house was a target and the County was watching every one of our moves and we needed to make sure that no matter what we did we had to paid attention to the details and satisfy each of the agencies requirements.

Before the fire the house was a 2 bedroom 1 bath with 743 square feet and was built in 1945. The House had numerous deferred maintenance issues including, a collapsing roof and front porch,the electrical had been stripped, the copper plumbing stolen, the sewer connection was broken and never reconnected to city services, it had deteriorated siding and the substructure was collapsing with termite infestation just to name a few. Although the owner had tried to maintain the property, and planned to remodel and eventually rent it out he could not keep up with the cost of the maintenance and the ongoing vandalism that beset the property. After years of dealing with code violations, the cleanup and their fines and fees the last straw was a break-in and fire that was deliberately set by a vagrant.

Remodel Concerns:

With Extensive Fire Damage The Health Department Demanded a Clean up

We all know the old adage that where there is smoke there is fire but what is more destructive than both of those is the water that is sure to follow.

the issue was no longer keeping up with all of the repairs and maintenance it was now saddled with a health Department order to fix the house or bulldoze it. They wanted the problem gone. Neighbors were complaining and the property had turned into a problem for everyone concerned.

Upon taking possession we convinced the County code enforcement and health departments to abate any more fines and fees until we could submit a plan for the cleanup and repairs. In the process the County approved the sale by transferring all code enforcement and health code violations to us.

ONGOING CHALLENGE:

In today’s construction world all all houses are targets for thieves and vandals. Our main concern was maintaining the ability to secure the house as well as the property. With a 6 foot chain link fence in place we were able to secure the property to keep the undesirables out.

Within 24 hours of closing we started the cleanup and demolition process and submitted the required dumping and recycling plan to the County. We had already had plans drawn for a proposed remodel and addition and needed to submit it for approval.

Within one week of the closing we submitted our plans and blue prints to the county for approval of a remodel & addition building permit adding 495 square feet to the existing structure plus an attached 2 car garage.

The plans were approved in a matter of three weeks and the construction phase of the project began.

OUR SOLUTION:

Once we took ownership of the property and had plan approval we invested heavily into the clean up and renovating the property and converted the once 2 Bedroom 1 bath home into a 4 Bedroom 2 Bath home.

Hear What Others Have To Say…

The City of Stockton was getting ready to tear down my old house. I was no longer able to maintain the Stockton House and after years of trying to keep up with code violations, needed repairs and vandalism, I finally called Peter

Westbrook. He came right out and told me what he could do. He contacted the city and county and even cleaned up the property before he bought it. He paid the back taxes for me and gave me an advance on the purchase of the house. Without his help I would have lost everything. I called real estate agents and other investors but no one wanted to help and no one offered to pay as much as Peter Westbrook. He completely remodeled the house and I smile every time I go by. Thank you Peter.

We inherited our parents house with one of our brothers living there . The property taxes had not been paid and it was in Tax default. We called Peter Westbrook and he found that the title was still in our parents name, so the Stockton House never went through probate. Peter also found that there was an old auto loan that had a lien on the

title and an old bankruptcy ruling to take care of that lien had never been filed with the courts. Peter handled everything including paying the back taxes, paying for the hiring a Probate Attorney and filing the probate and paying for and hiring a Bankruptcy Attorney to finalize the removal of the lien. He was patient, understanding and he took care of everything including evicting the tenants that were living in the house. We talked to real estate agents and other I buy house people. None of them had the answers for our situation. Without peter we would have lost everything. We got paid cash.

We inherited my parents Stockton house with a mortgage. We decided to rent it out. The tenants destroyed the house. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t have the money to fix it and the city had already issued code violations.. I called an “I Buy Houses Stockton Sign” on a telephone pole and Peter Westbrook answered. In 4 days he paid the bank and bought my house. We would have lost everything if it weren’t for Peter Westbrook.

Mike B

I inherited my mothers house with a mortgage. When my husband and I lost our jobs, we got behind in payments. Then the Bank posted a default with a auction date we didn’t know what to do.

We didn’t have the $15,000.00 and we only had two weeks to do something. We called Peter Westbrook and form the beginning he was confident he could stop the bank. Within 4 days he bought the house with cash, paid off the bank and stopped the Foreclosure. Without Peter we would have lost everything.

I saw a sign on a telephone pole and against my better judgement I called. The last thing I expected was a person answering the phone. I was surprised, Peter Westbrook answered the phone. I had a lot of questions and Peter had the right answers. My mother needed to get as much as possible out of the house and we had talked to several real estate agents and they all wanted to sell it cheap and wanted a 6% commission. They all told us unless we put thousands of dollars into it could not be sold for what we wanted. Not Peter. He made a fair cash offer and since then we have sold him another house. Peter and the title company handled everything. I couldn’t be happier and I would recommend Peter Westbrook to anyone.

Cathy W

I needed to sell my Stockton House. I called a phone number I saw on a sign and talked to Peter Westbrook. The City of Stockton said that they were going to take away my vacant Stockton house, knock it down and send me the

bill to do it. I did everything that I could to try to make them happy. A neighbor offered to buy the house and then Peter offered me twice as much. He did everything he said he would do and I just had to go to the Title Company and sign the papers. He did all of the work and now the City of Stockton is his problem. Thank you Peter.

Ann C

I inherited my Fathers Stockton house. The front porch was falling in, the walls had holes from being vacant and vandalized. The City of Stockton fined us, red tagged the property and forced us to put on a new roof so we had to get loans and we still couldn’t rent it out.

I called one of those “I Buy Houses” signs and Peter Westbrook came out and made a cash offer. The House closed escrow and we got our money for a house we though was worthless. Thanks Peter!”

“Our Grandfather passed away and my brother, sister and I inherited his Stockton house. He was a junkman and hoarder. He was also 90 years old and had not made a repair to the house in years. He had garage sales almost every day. The house and the yard were full of junk. We tried to get everything out so we could just see the house. We had family and friends come over on the weekends but the cost and effort was consuming all of our time.The house was a mess.

I called Peter Westbrook and he made us a cash offer for the house and he said he would take care of all of the clean up. Thank God I called. The City had issued code violations and fines on the property and even before we closed escrow Peter and his crew had the house and yard cleaned (4 large Dumpsters later) . I recommend Peter Westbrook to anyone that has a problem house. They were fast and professional”

Connie J.

“I had tried to sell my Mothers Stockton house for two years. Realtor’s told me to tear it down. I didn’t have the money for that and my Brother and his family were living there. Peter Westbrook made me a cash offer and closed escrow with my brother still in the house. Peter Westbrook is my savior. I don’t have to worry about the house any more. If you have a Stockton house that has become a burden and you don’t have the money to fix it to sell it, call Peter Westbrook.”
